The titles rotate rapidly around a revolving globe, with credits like “Part Dialogue” and “Written by Raj Kundra” set against 80s style Hiranandani Powai skyline

Arshad Warsi plays a “genius”

Jackky Bhagnani plays a “Super genius”

The opening scene has Dalip Tahil speaking in Gujarati, and kicks of a 131 minute marathon replete with fake Gujju accents, “snake” and “hole” level word plays, and an item song with Russian dancers in dandiya attire.

VFX for stormy seas and bomb blasts are reminiscent of 16-bit arcade games. B-grade shark attack films in Bhojpuri are less tacky

Comedy comes to be represented by lyrics like “g pe lat…” and names like Ittefaq and What the fuck

Toilet humor reaches new lows. A fart smell is attributed to a dead rat in the man’s stomach.

What the fafda man.
